Shri Ganesha Puja

September 12, 2009, Saturday

The Goddess presented Her children with one more great day.

Early morning. On the glade between Shri Mataji’s house and the large stage there are meditating Sahaja Yogis from different countries: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Italy, Iran, Finland, France, Argentina, the USA, etc… Physical exercises and again a deep meditation. At 8:30 there is a meditation for children which is conducted by Yuva Shakti. Since early in the morning Sahaja Yogis are preparing for the meeting with Shri Adi Shakti.

Since 12 o’clock in the afternoon brothers and sisters are gradually gathering at the large stage: Puja can start at any time – depending on Mother’s Will.

15:00 – a little more than 4,5 thousand Sahaja Yogis are meditating to the accompaniment of Indian classic music. When the raga “Kirvani” is being performed, the hot sun disappears behind the clouds and several drops of rain bring freshness and purification.

16:20 – the car with Shri Mataji leaves the yard of Her house. The glade is again lit up by the sun. All the time while our Holy Mother is going to the stage by car, the birds are making circles high in the sky above Her car welcoming Shri Adi Shakti. In several minutes the great Puja starts! Baby Shakti offer rose petals at the Lotus Feet of Shri Mataji. Worshipping with petals is also offered by the members of the Russian and Ukrainian Councils for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga, by the Council of Yuva Shakti. Aarti to our Mother is made by the members of the Russian and Ukrainian Councils and the Country Coordinators present at the Festival. The deepest vibrations, the deepest love, the deepest uniting in one ocean. Thank You, our Beloved Holy Mother, for You have given us an opportunity to offer this Puja to You!

After the Puja all the present Yuva Shakti were invited at the stage to make a pranam to Shri Mataji. Presents from different countries were also offered. On behalf of all the Sahaja Yogis, the Coordinator of the Russian Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga expressed our deepest gratitude to Shri Mataji, Sir C.P. and Sadhana Didi for they had made such a long way to come to Russia and meet Sahaja Yogis. Afterwards, Highly Respected Sir C.P. took the floor:

“It is a great present of good fortune that I was able to come… Do you know my age? Do you know? I am in my 90th year, 90th. All because of Her. If She was not there by my side, I would long not be here. I owe everything, everything to Her. And my request to you: carry Her message to everyone in the world. It is my prayer to you. I will take the liberty of repeating the word of Her. When She addresses, She says, “I have done my job, now you take her”. And everyone says, “Yes, we will spread”… [the present Sahaja Yogis raise both their hands to show they agree with it] Thank you! This photo I will carry all over the world where I travel. For you, Sahaja Yoga will now spread. Once again, very dear, very beloved friends… This is the moment which She has created. I bow down to Her and I bow down to all of you because you are Her devotees… Thank you, thank you very very much…

Then I really have to express my respect to Dmitry [addressing the Russian Coordinator]. He is a gentleman beyond world. I’ve met so many. I hold to him deep affection and deep love. Thank you very much for coming to Cabella and meeting us.

I have been to many gatherings, believe me, all over the world but I have not been to one like this before. This is a unique gathering of truly angels on Earth and I bow down to all of you. All these problems all over the world – and no solution apart from Sahaja Yoga. I have no doubt that you’ll carry this message all over the world and one day, while She is still presiding, the whole world will be Sahaja Yogis. Because of Her, there will be this new world, this beautiful new world of angels. I bow down to Her…

I have one, rather small, present which, I have no doubt, you will like. Will you allow me to make a present to you? [Sir C.P. presents the Russian Collective with a large picture of Shri Mataji; long, long applause]. Thank you, thank you very much. This day I will bring in my heart, ever, ever. Thank you, thank you. [long applause]”

Shri Mataji stayed for about three hours with Sahaja Yogis. At about 18:30 She left for Her House.

What joy everyone felt when in several minutes our Beloved Holy Mother expressed the desire to meet with Yuva Shakti who were invited to the front yard of Shri Mataji’s house. The Yuva Shakti ensemble surrounded by many brothers and sisters, with much love and devotion, performed bhajans and qawwalis describing the greatness of Shri Adi Shakti, of the One whose compassion is so great that despite everything She aspires to give each minute to the meeting with Her children. In about an hour beautiful fireworks lit up the darkness of the sky above the Volga to the accompaniment of “Mata ka Karam”.

The nature also celebrated that day. In about half an hour lightnings started illuminating the dark sky everywhere at the horizon, one after another. Soon, the venue of the Festival was refreshed by little rain.

Thank You, Great Mother, for that extraordinary day which we will carefully keep in our hearts. We promise You that we will do everything possible for Sahaja Yoga to establish in each and every corner of our planet! Jai Shri Mataji!
